Director Biography - Tim Aslin, Shane Cibella

Tim Aslin and Shane Cibella have been directing, writing, and producing together for over a decade, culminating in the creation of their production company Silent Thunder Films.

Their satirical style has been a trademark of their work from the start, with an emphasis on stories that explore toxic norms. Through their particular brand of dark humor, Aslin & Cibella strive to capture audiences by revealing the absurdity of human behavior.

Previous projects include the avant garde call to action 'Frontline of Humanity', the popular action-comedy series 'Devil’s Couriers', and most recently, the satirical neo-western '2 Timers', Executive Produced by Jamie Lee Curtis, starring Amber Stevens West, Steven Weber, and Jane Kaczmarek.

Currently, filming is underway for their psychological-thriller '5.7 seconds'. When an unseen threat forces a young woman to take refuge in an abandoned car, she must determine where the true danger lies: inside or out. The film is scheduled to be completed at the end of 2021.

Aslin & Cibella also have three feature length scripts in development, the vengeance-thriller 'Capably Violent', a psychological-thriller 'The Woods', as well as the feature film continuation of their award winning series 'Devil’s Couriers'.

Director Statement

In our film 2 Timers, we focus on the characters' shifting power dynamics as a microcosm of the entertainment industry, as well as the world.

Emphasizing the tension between the old guard of Hollywood and the new generation, our vision of the story as a current day western standoff took shape, highlighting the two women banding together and leaving the antiquated man behind.

Once we knew we would be working in a neo-western realm, we began creating classic iconography suggestive of the Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns, dropping them into a contemporary world, attaching comedic talent rarely seen in those films, blending an epic modern musical score that evokes Ennio Morricone, and securing visual backdrops that capture the beauty just outside of Hollywood.

Lastly, we are honored to have directed and collaborated with talent of such high caliber and esteem. Thank you for your consideration, and we hope you enjoy our film.

Sincerely,
Aslin & Cibella
